The Beasts Are on the Streets is a 1978 American made-for-television thriller film produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions (although known primarily as an animation studio, this was one of several live-action Hanna-Barbera productions), directed by Peter R. Hunt and starring Carol Lynley, Billy Green Bush and Philip Michael Thomas.

A careening tanker truck rips through the fence of a Texas wildlife preserve, unleashing an untamed force of wild animals on an unsuspecting community.

This includes bison, zebras, camels, antelopes, ostriches, elephants, lions, rhinos, tigers, and bears.

Dr. Claire McCauley, a dedicated veterinarian, works with Kevin Johnson, the head ranger of the wildlife park, to manage the situation.

Meanwhile, two trigger-happy hunters, Jim Scudder and Al Loring, decide to go big-game hunting amid the community chaos.
